My brother did his first road bike 'race' this weekend, the aids benefit ride, and wrote it up in hysterical fashion. At least I think it's hysterical, but maybe that's just because I can hear him telling the story.

There's a note that I saw today that says, 'The language of friends is not words, but meanings." and it makes perfect sense to me, and I'll be damned if i can explain what it means. :) because it means one thing, but it also means at least one other thing, depending on what you want it to mean. I really like it.

Among the general ickiness of the evening, I was talking today about the boy who took me to coffee. And I said that in many ways, I envy him. He's 22, and he knows what he's doing not just this week or this month, but he knows what he wants to go to grad school for and what he will do after that. And they're good solid plans--nothing crazy or unlikely, and enough of a give in the plans (such as his music major) that I can believe that he will succeed. And I envy him, because I don't know what I want to be doing in a month. And the person that I mentioned this to said, "And there's a good chance that he envies you, in turn, for having found a place that you love." and I thought about it, and I keep thinking about it. And I miss that boy an awful lot.

He takes good pictures. He has "the eye".

He's 22, and he knows what he's doing not just this week or this month, but he knows what he wants to go to grad school for and what he will do after that.

22? He probably thinks he knows and has planned accordingly. Changes are likely in his near future. When he's 30, then I'll believe it.

My roommate knew what she was doing when she was 18. The first time we met, or near abouts, I asked her what she was going to do, and near as I can tell, it's exactly what she's doing now, or what she's doing now is exactly what she needs to do to get to where she wants to be, and where she wants to be hasn't changed in the past 9 years.

You'd have to talk to him (which I won't let you, because he's hot, and he's mine.), but I believe him. Not necessarily that he knows what he's doing for the rest of his life, but what he's doing next, and that's what I envy there. (I also hope that he picks a grad school up here though, but that's just me. ;)

Yes of course. Your roommate was a woman. This is a 22 year old man.

All men under 22 are insane give or take a year--and it's usually take.
The man that took you to coffee is under 30.
Therefore, he is insane.

Hence, he thinks he knows what he's doing next.

But seriously, if he seems certain that he knows what he's doing next, well, he probably is going to do that very thing. I'd just have more faith if he were older. Or female.

You understand ;)

You're just hoping he's not fully convinced he's straight.

Um . . . no way. Although some of your older friends . . . now they have potential.

I'll be gentle. Trust me.

What older friends of mine have you seen pictures of?

It was maybe two years ago . . . someone from your work . . . there were a few others you posted somewhere.

Sadly, I don't recall the details, just the sense that "I'd take that one, and that one, and that one over there."
